BUENOS AIRES — REDUCE SPEED AHEAD. A 450-foot-high iceberg has been sighted near shipping lanes off southern Argentina, the government news agency Telam reported. Satellite photographs from the national weather service showed the iceberg, which is 2,100 feet wide, about 310 miles northwest of the Falkland Islands. It is believed to have broken off from Antarctica several months ago and drifted northward.
